Preface
This has been a particularly interesting and challenging time to be writing this edition; the Arab
Spring heralded a period of unrest and turmoil which is clearly still evolving. It has been sober-
ing to remember that I was in Benghazi driving past the American Embassy in 2006, a year after
Libya had first welcomed tourists, and now barely seven years later, dreams of international
peace are ever harder to bring to reality. However, common threads of human needs still afford
some avenues for understanding and appreciating the uniqueness of individuals and nations.
Food offers a particularly significant pathway of study to promote cultural knowledge. I hope
that this edition can be helpful to those seeking to expand their knowledge and understanding of
food and its cultural variations.
Food is a significant messenger of culture and the human experience. We have all grown
up with experiences of family meals and parties where we ate delicious foods that were favor-
ites dating back at least a generation. Conversations may have recalled the great fried chicken,
spaghetti and meatballs, or tamales that Grandma used to make. The special treats vary with our
ancestral tree, but memories of food specialties still persist for us.
Each of us is a member of (or soon will become a part of) a minority in the United States.
This remarkable increase in diversity within the U.S. population means that we all need to learn
more about the world: its geographic parameters, food, and social and economic factors that
have shaped the people who have emigrated from other nations to the United States. Better rela-
tionships between individuals, within schools, and throughout communities and the nation begin
with learning about one another, what we value and seek. Food preferences and eating habits
provide a fascinating and very approachable avenue for promoting understanding.
Now is a wonderful time to get acquainted with the world, its nations, their people, and
culture. Your study will increase your knowledge and appreciation of the diverse traditions and
food patterns of people in your community, school, and workplace. You will develop a spirit
of adventure as you discover exciting new flavors and textures in foods from around the world.
Whether you are preparing these dishes yourself or dining in a restaurant featuring foreign spe-
cialties, your enjoyment will be enhanced when you know about the region or country that devel-
oped the original cuisine. Regardless of your professional goals, this book will help you become
a citizen of the world. However, this knowledge is particularly important for dietitians, nutrition-
ists, and food technologists as they strive to help people from other cultures achieve healthy and
satisfying food patterns in this country.
This edition has been changed in several ways. The chapter on Canada is new. I have also
included discussion on some of the world’s food problems and the reasons for severe food short-
ages in several countries. Maps of the regions and countries are provided throughout. More color
and black-and-white pictures are included to help readers visualize the uniqueness of the differ-
ent places visited in the book. Definitions in the margins and study questions are additional aids.
Now it is time to journey with me around the world through the pages of this book.
Let’s go!

The Story of
Puritana.
Prof. Dixi Crosby, M. D., LL. D., who for thirty-two
years was at the head of Dartmouth Medical
College, belonged to the famous Crosby family of
physicians, which for several generations has
furnished more distinguished medical men than any
other family in America. His father was Dr. Asa
Crosby, of Dartmouth, who procured the charter of
the State medical society, of which he was for thirty
years a conspicuous member; one brother, Dr.
Josiah Crosby, invented the invalid bed and the
method of making extensions of fractured limbs by
adhesive strips; another brother, Dr. Thos. R.
Crosby, was chief surgeon in Columbian College
Hospital during the war, and later professor of
animal and vegetable physiology at Dartmouth
College; while Dr. Dixi Crosby himself was the
inventor and discoverer of various important
improvements in medicine and surgery, including a
new and unique mode of reducing
metacarpophalangeal dislocation, opening of
abscess at hip-joint, etc., etc. At the early age of
twenty-four his extraordinary skill and success in
overcoming disease had already attracted the
attention of medical men throughout the world, and
won for him the highest honors. His greatest
achievement was the discovery of an original
method for perfecting and compounding in
permanent form what has become known as his
"prize formula," and which, under the name of
Puritana, is legally protected. The foundation of this
remarkable medical discovery consists of simple
New England roots and herbs, and the original
family recipe for it has descended to the long line of
Crosby physicians from their Puritan ancestors. Its
peculiar vegetable composition rendered it
necessary to brew it whenever needed in the early
days of its history, and after the scattering of the
Puritan families to remote localities, where the
necessary ingredients were not to be found, many
attempts were made to put it up in permanent form,
all of which failed until Dr. Dixi Crosby discovered
means and methods, the result of which is: Nature's
Cure compounded in the laboratory of Common
Sense.
Hair Cloth Crinoline,
NOTWITHSTANDING the great number of
imitations and substitutes advertised to be
twice as wide and twice as cheap, has a
hold upon the fashionable dressmakers
and fashionable women that cannot be
shaken. It was only a matter of time for the
old adage, "The best is the cheapest," to be
proven, and now the demand for the
genuine Hair Cloth Crinoline, of which
every strand of the weft is pure hair,
promises to exceed the output. Experience
has also taught the best manner of using it,
and the fault of shrinking or cockling, which
by the unthinking ones has sometimes
been attributed to hair cloth, without for a
moment looking for the real cause, that of
putting two fabrics of different nature
together, either of which may shrink a little,
has been overcome by scientific methods
of interlining. Shrinking, ironing, and
binding hair cloth before putting into a
dress has also produced satisfactory
results, more than compensating for the
little extra trouble in so doing. To make
certain of the genuine hair cloth take out a
few strands of the weft, pull them, and if
found to be elastic it is hair cloth, otherwise
imitation.
It is quite easily understood why hair cloth
is so elastic and resilient if one will only
stop to think that, no matter how many
ways human hair is combed, whether
twisted, curled, braided, crimped or frizzled,
wet or oiled, it will resume its natural
position, and, so, too, will Hair Cloth
Crinoline, having a weft of pure hair,
resume its normal condition.
Such Hair Cloth Crinoline as above
referred to is made by the American Hair
Cloth Company, of Pawtucket, R. I., the
largest hair cloth manufacturers in the
world, whose goods are recognized as the
leaders throughout the country, and are
superior to any foreign or domestic make.
They manufacture several grades, suitable
for skirts and sleeves, for both day and
evening dresses; 10/4, 14/4, 10/5, 200/4,
98/3, usually sold for Skirts; 84/3, 146/3,
170/3, 200/4 for Sleeves.
